Leave it or put it right?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Whitstable
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. Common call-outs are for systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, across grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.
In a town like Whitstable, ventilation cleaning normally means offices, schools, surgeries, care homes and leisure buildings. Their supply and extract ducts all gather dust over time, and TR19® Air sets out how to inspect and clean them.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Leaking or broken duct sections

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Whitstable questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Whitstable in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Whitstable. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Whitstable?
Yes, Whitstable is covered. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Food Standards Agency data includes about 11 schools, colleges and universities and about 21 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Whitstable. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 1 mile north-east of Whitstable is Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Whitstable, about 50 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 1 mile north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Whitstable are no different.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork.

Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Whitstable, and where the van can go.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
